I'm about to recable some monoprice 9927s that I uses at work (in a warehouse on overnights), but the cable has horrible microphonics. I'm going to recable them with navships 26awg silver teflon wire that i have laying around from several projects. Whats the best way to go about protecting the...

just ordered my tubes and sockets to go along with the pcb from fred_fred2004.   Trying to finish my BOM from mouser but would like some input about a switch and fet heat sinks. I have some ebony from another project so I'm going to case this amp up with that. I'm going to use a big 1.5 inch...

I have not bought a new DAP in a long time, and with putting my Ipod Nano 6g through the washer and dryer after the gym yesterday I think its a good time, also I hated that ipod with a passion.   Ive been looking at the sandisk's line (clips zips and fuzes). Ive also looked into modding an...

Im recabling 3 of my broken headsets that had loose/broken connections in the inline controls and where it left the headset. I have mute toggle switches mounted in the headset for the mic and im looking for a small panel mount pot for volume control. The headsets will be used from the computer...

Yeah you can just strip the cut ends and solder them to the drivers. How competent are you with a soldering iron?   Edit: be sure to add some strain relief before you put it all back together!   Quote:  

was this a kit? looks fantastic! Quote:  

i have the super short ones from Ridax, they are great for low profile.   http://www.chargeconverter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52

must have!   Quote:  

Quote:   Cant say I've ever used a xytronic. The typical entry stations I've used and seen are hakko/weller/aoyue. For general through hole soldering, some smd work and cable making, my hakko 936 (old version of the new Hakko fx888) is used almost exclusively.  I have 2 wands and a...

I have not used the xytronic, but I have used my 936 for 3 years now. Its seen a lot of use and hasn't let me down. The new 888 uses the same wands and therefore the same tips as the 936, which are both really cheap.

Quote: yeah i just noticed the voltage difference, no big deal ill just case it all up together. Ill leave the modular system to when i tackle the b22.

Im really digging the reviews on the Bijou. Anyone know if its possible to use a different power supply with the bijou, such as the sigma 11, as i was planing to build a separate power supply for the sake of being modular.

Quote: funny, it says mouser has them in stock but when i was looking earlier i couldn't find them, got them now! thanks!  

Im recabling my razor head set after destroying yet another and im sick of getting it replaced by warranty because of bad strain relief, only to have it fail again.   Ive never had a headset where the inline mute/volume control has failed due to strain. After i removed the inline controls a...

to tin those enamel wires, tin the tip of the soldering iron heat each wire until you see the enamel burn off and solder gets pulled into the wire, add some more when this happens.  Then continue to solder to connector as per usual.
